Five-star La Lumiere (IN) guard Josh Tyson committed to Cincinnati over Xavier on Friday.
The 6-foot-3 Tyson is ranked the No. 11 point guard in the Class of 2027 by 247Sports.com.
“I chose Cincinnati because of the play style and fit,” he told ZAGSBLOG. “I will bring two-way skills as a floor general and elite defender.”

“Josh Tyson is one of the best players in the class at applying ball pressure, navigating screens, and fighting over ball screens,” ESPN’s Paul Biancardi told ZAGSBLOG. “He posted a 2.5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio and ranked among the top five in steals in 3SSB play.
“Offensively, he is better off the dribble as a three-point shooter than he is as a catch-and-shoot player. His elbow pull-ups are very good.
“He will help both La Lumiere and Cincinnati win a lot of games.”
